Preface This manual describes in detail the NI-488.2 for MS-DOS software. All NI-488.2 routines and NI-488 functions for Advanced IBM Interpretive BASIC for the IBM Personal Computer, Microsoft QuickBASIC, Microsoft Professional BASIC, and Microsoft C are described. Software and manual supplements are available for use with other programming languages. Organization of This Manual This manual is organized as follows: • Chapter 1, Introduction, introduces you to the General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB) and this manual. • Chapter 2, NI-488.2 Software Installation and Configuration, contains the instructions for installing and configuring the NI-488.2 software. It also contains a description of IBCONF, the software configuration program, and a description of NI-488.2 software features helpful in developing and debugging your application program. • Chapter 3, Understanding the NI-488.2 Software, introduces you to the NI-488.2 routines and NI-488 functions, describes features common to both, and contains general programming information you need to know before starting your application program. It also contains specific programming information for each language. • Chapter 4, NI-488.2 Software Characteristics and Routines, contains a discussion of the important characteristics of the NI-488.2 routines available in the MS-DOS driver that are common to all programming languages. It also contains a detailed description of each NI-488.2 routine with example programs. The descriptions are listed alphabetically for easy reference. • Chapter 5, NI-488 Software Characteristics and Functions, contains a discussion of the important characteristics of the NI-488 functions available in the MS-DOS driver that are common to all programming languages. It also contains a detailed description of each NI-488 function with example programs. The descriptions are listed alphabetically for easy reference. © National Instruments Corp. v NI-488.2 for MS-DOS Preface • Chapter 6, IBIC, contains instructions for running the Interface Bus Interactive Control (IBIC) program using the NI-488.2 routines and NI-488.2 functions. It also contains the syntax of these functions, important characteristics, and IBIC example programs. • Chapter 7, Applications Monitor, explains how to use, install, and configure the applications monitor, a resident program that is useful in debugging sequences of GPIB calls from within your application. • Appendix A, Multiline Interface Messages, contains a multiline interface message reference list, which describes the mnemonics and messages that correspond to the interface functions. • Appendix B, Common Errors and Their Solutions, lists the most common errors and their solutions. They are arranged according to the error code that is returned from the function as indicated by iberr. This appendix also describes error situations that do not return an error code. • Appendix C, Serial/Parallel Port Redirection to the GPIB, describes how to use standard DOS printer commands (LPRINT, PRINT, and so on) to redirect data from the serial or parallel port to a GPIB printer, plotter, or other device using the NI-488.2 for MS-DOS driver. • Appendix D, Operation of the GPIB, describes some basic concepts you should understand to operate the GPIB. It also contains a description of the physical and electrical characteristics as well as configuration requirements of the GPIB. • Appendix E, Customer Communication, contains forms for you to complete to facilitate communication with National Instruments concerning our products. • The Glossary contains an alphabetical list of terms used in this manual and a definition of each. • The Index contains an alphabetical list of key terms and topics used in this manual, including the page where each one can be found.

    File No. S360-20 Form C24-3420-0 Systems Reference Library IBM System/360 Basic Programming Support and IBM Basic Operating System/360 Programming Systems Summary This publication describes the general function, capabilities, and application of the programming support of IBM System/360 at the 8K and 16K levels. At these levels of support, Basic Operating System/360 consists of a comprehensive set of commercial, scientific, and process control programming aids operating under supervisory control and coordination of an integrated control program. The IBM System/360 Basic Programming Support con­ sists of programs and programming aids (distinct from Basic Operating System/360 or Operating System/360) providing pro­ gramming support for small card or tape configurations of IBM System/360. For a list of associated publications and their abstracts, see the IBAf System/360 Bibliography, Form A22-6822. Preface This publication serves as a general introduction to the IBM System/360 Basic Programming Support and the IBM Basic Operating System/360. Because many combinations of programming and computing facili­ ties are possible with IBM System/360, no attempt is made in this summary to relate the programming fa­ cilities to specific machine requirements. Only the minimum machine configurations (see Appendices) for each of the programming facilities are included. Summary descriptions of programs are provided in this publication. More detailed information can be found in other publications. These publications are abstracted and listed by form number in IBM System/ 360, Bibliography, Form A22-6822.
